The full explanation of oversteer/understeer is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oversteer

This is so true. How different drivers set up for a corner greatly affects perceived car balance and handling. This is why every car that is driven to the limits of traction should be set up for driver style and preference. John and Jim might (and probably would) drive the same car and one would notice distinct understeer, the other would find the car very neutral to his driving style. Care to guess which one is which??
